let her indulge in her bathroom sillies and many other pushy behaviors, because she has a congenital heart disease and I want every single day she spends with me to be full of joy and contentment, even if it does involve ruling over her furbrothers and fursister......and giving her skinmom a butt full of bite marks......
Man, I wish I had a camers.I was going to say Cat, I'd love to see a picture of that.[QUOTE=TeedOff]I was going to say Cat, I'd love to see a picture of that.[/QUOTE]
ME TOO!
Hi Joonie,
What a cute story! We have 3 kitties too all with their own personalities. They do make life easier to bare during hard times don't they? I love the cat pictures! I used to have three, each with her own personality. They all knew their names and when I called them home you could hear them jumping over the fences as they responded. In my old house, one of them learned how to get up on a half wall by the door and jiggle the safety lock when she wanted to go out! Unfortunately, all three are in cat heaven now. I've been tempted to get another or a dog but think I'll wait until I retire. They are wonderful to have around! Post more pictures!
Gosh, cataholic, Theo sounds like a major character. Maybe all tortishells are full of personality. I know mine is. Theo's bathroom routine got me giggling away
<>Have you cat people heard about Nora, the piano
playin' cat?
Nora's Meowmoir: From shelter to
showbiz
Ow, isn't Australia known for some mean and deadly snakes? That has to be scary!
Theo bites me on the legs quite often; it's just because she's such a moody wench. She's not one to want attention.
The one who likes to bother me at puter-time is Chip (Mr Chip Chipman). A rather heavy boy, he stretches out on my lap and puts the full weight of his chest, head, and front legs on my mouse hand. Not long before my wrist feels like it's going to die of pain. But it's the only way he'll arrange himself. What's a mother to do???
Why can't I have a cat like Nora, who could put some serious green in the piggy bank?
I also have a cat and 2 dogs the cats name is Lucifer because he has a tail that is bent the shape of a lightening bolt ( that why when he was born) I adopted him from the pound and that is where all my animals have come from he is 9 months old now and weigh 28 pounds he is not really fat but a very active and large baby he is dark with stripes of bronze and black He is a very big boy and he teases our teacup chihuahua to death he never bears his claws but teases the poor dog to death. we also have a shih tzu and the cat never bothers him they all get along lovely
Better run some DNA tests on that feline! Methinks you've got a TIGER in your house! (Seriously)
I have one cat of my own in the house and 3 grankitties who have overstayed their welcome according to my husband. They sure can eat and drink! I am constantly filling the bowls but every morning when I get up they are circling around and yup sure enough everything is empty! They must party all night! I have 3 outside and 7 kittens. They are my mousers but my inside kitty brings me mice so they don't do a bang up job!Mine are quiet Thank goodness because husband is far from a cat lover. My cat used to annoy the heck out of him because she came meowing around 5 AM. Since the other kitties have joined her she is pre-occupied...
As soon as I open the bedroom door in the morning they are circling around letting me know they have needs!

Great stories!
Shows how much life and love these little ones can add to our lives. My 15 yr old big boy cat Boo Boo was put to sleep a month ago -- terribly hard. It took me all of three weeks of a cat-less house to bring home a new baby cat, and I couldn't be happier. The dogs have adopted the little kitten as their baby and so far he hasn't eaten a parrot, either. With this pia illness, anything we can do to lift our spirits is great!
So sorry to hear about big Boo Boo. I truly understand your emotion. And I know what you mean about lifting spirits. In my very depressed state, I believe the only reason to live is for my furkids. They
are my life!

Yep, Australia has some extremely deadly (literally) snakes.
I think it was a Green Tree snake because is was narrow in body. Green Trees bite but aren't too poisonous. However, it could also have been a young Brown and they are deadly. I was wondering if I was going to go outside later and find a dead Cupcake...but no, in she walked a while later, completely okay and found herself a nice new spot in a box to have a snooze in.
Cupcake = 1 Snake = 0. Cat's Mommy = relieved. Whew!!
Goodness, she gave me a fright though.
Our animals are such good medicine with this RA stuff. And good therapy. Without Cupcake and my Maltese x Poodle, Sophie...my days especially when bedridden would be much more lonely. Those two are good company. Sophie is my shadow and rarely leaves my side. She is even good for pain distraction, stroking her soft fur. I think animals can be such important parts of our families.
Cataholic, I love the 'moody wench'description. Cupcake is exactly that too.
Here is our crazy cat although he looks quite normal here! He loves playing in the mud so when we are watering the lawn, he is usually to be seen close to the sprinkler, saturated, and digging a hole. He also plays in the kitchen sink when the tap is running.
We love him to bits. I had been feeding him since he was a few weeks old ( he was wild) and one day discovered him with a broken leg. So off to the vet, big operation then 6 weeks in a cage in our spare bedroom! That room is now his depository for all manner of live and dead things. We must remember to keep the door shut otherwise he has the carpet covered in feathers or mouse entrails.

Thanks for the reminder ----- I think the bunny guts in the living room are now dried enough to scrape up without gagging.
Think how happy you BOTH (ALL?) would make each other!
